Use the Strava MCP server
in VS Code

Your activities, stats, and training data from Strava. This guide connects Strava to VS Code (GitHub Copilot's agent mode) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: Strava in VS Code

VS Code adds MCP servers via MCP server configuration. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Strava to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to VS Code' — VS Code prompts to add the gateway as an HTTP MCP server.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Copilot's agent mode can now use Strava — logged and governed through your gateway.

What to ask once it’s connected

“How far did I run this month?”
“Summarize my last ride.”
“Am I on track for my yearly distance goal?”
“Compare this week's training to last week's.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Strava connection works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Strava exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything VS Code did with Strava — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Strava passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
